Somebody's Dream - Tracy Byrd
Written by:Casey Beathard/Michael P. Heeney
There's a burned out farmhouse down the road
Barn's fallin' in
Field's over grown
Keep out sign on a broken fence
Passers by say what a mess
It don't cross their mind that not long ago
That was
Somebody's dream
Somebody's hope
Somebody's world
Gone up in smoke
Ain't life a twisting
Turning changing machine
They had big plans
They had no doubts
But then the bottom fell out
It fell apart at the seams
And you wouldn't know
That used to be somebody's dream
He's seventeen his thumbs in the air
Running away to God knows where
And no one wants to pick him up
All they see's a no good punk
The tore up clothes
The cigarette the hair
Ah but that's somebody's dream
Somebody's hope
Somebody's world gone up in smoke
Ain't life a twisting turning
Changing machine
His folks had plans
They had no doubts
They had his future figured out
Guess he just figured differently
And maybe you got room in your backseat
For somebody's dream
A girl walks into a pawn shop
To sell her wedding ring
Says since he left
Man it just don't mean a thing
She's thinkin' about what happened
Thinking what went wrong
The man across the counter's thinkin'
What price tag he'll put on
Somebody's dream somebody's hope
Somebody's world gone up in smoke
Ain't life a twisting turning
Changing machine
She had big plans
She had no doubts
She had it all figured out
Guess he figured differently
Oh but still she knows someday
She'll be somebody's dream
Somebody's dream somebody's dream
Somebody's dream somebody's dream
